Drug Shortage Mitigation refers to the strategies and processes implemented by healthcare providers, pharmacies, manufacturers, and regulatory agencies to prevent, manage, and alleviate the impact of drug shortages on patient care. A drug shortage occurs when the demand for a specific medication exceeds the supply, or when there are disruptions in manufacturing, distribution, or other factors that hinder the availability of the drug. Mitigation efforts focus on maintaining access to essential medications and minimizing the effects on treatment outcomes.
Effective mitigation strategies require a combination of proactive planning, alternative medication options, collaboration with regulatory agencies, and clear communication with healthcare providers and patients. By implementing these strategies, pharmacies and healthcare systems can minimize the impact of drug shortages and ensure that patient care is not compromised.
